However we do offer an MSI installation for GemBox.Email which provides a few benefits, like installation of GemBox.Email assembly into the Global Assembly Cache (GAC), local help file (CHM format) with API references and other resource files.

The installed assembly can be easily shared (referenced) by multiple applications and also the installed assembly can have multiple versions which are listed side-by-side in GAC.

When you have a .NET assembly enlisted in a GAC, you can add reference to it inside a Visual Studio by browsing through a ".NET" tab in an "Add reference" dialog. In more recent versions of Visual Studio (2012 and later) the GAC assembly location in the "Add reference" dialog (called "Reference Manager") is under the "Assemblies" -> "Extensions".
